This is a very painful injury. Seeing that the sternoclavicular joint basically is affected by movement of arms, shoulders, and chest, Patrice cannot be feeling too good. Adding a rib injury to that must make it feel worse.

The good thing is that this doesn’t look like it needs surgery as broken clavicle often does for athletes. However, since we don’t know if it’s a dislocation or a sprain, treatment may very. As will all cartilage injuries, if it doesn’t require surgery it requires rest.

Like Chara, Bergeron will be out for at least 4 weeks. It will seem like forever but this team will soldier on.

I’m guessing that the owner decided to not pay up.

Hi Pals!!
Nothing quite like a blow to the sternoclavicular. I’ve experienced this one several times!!!! Dude, sneezing…..
Life without Ste Patrice begins. So we get a well rested Bergy for the strtech drive, no? Is a move needed? I hope Sweenius lets the cubs give it there best shot. I guess if it doesn’t pan out, the B’s could appear desparate and face higher prices, but, what the hey? Roll them dice. Let the chips fall where they may, all the cliches!!!
Is there any good.news????

Well, the good news will come when the Bruins are forced to produce secondary scoring. This is their chance.
